- You can get x20 or x22 speed DVD drives, obviously better than x16. Also, is it DVD-RW? Might as well get one of them.
- 450W CPU is cutting it very very fine and leaves NO room for updates in the future. I'm surprised they are supplying a CPU like that unless it's high quality like Corsair.
- I'd worry if a 19" monitor only cost £95. I'd much rather save up for a decent 22 " or 24".
- GTX260 is a good card and so is the E8400 CPU, so no problems there.
The ram is epic 1337, the HDD will be fine, maybe put it to 350.. the cpu is corsair, the options are like: Corsair XMS2 or Corsair Dominator series, so yeah they will be good quality. Do you think I should cut some of the other stuff down and get like a GTX280?
